Public sector organisations have to comply with Public Contract Regulations. This a set of legal requirements which governs how they can buy goods and services and works from contractors to ensure fairness and value for money. A DPS is a flexible way for organisations who are covered by the Regulations to select from a list of approved contractors for specific services that they buy regularly. By having a DPS Public Sector organisations can streamline the procurement processes so that, once contractors are on the DPS, they don’t have to demonstrate their suitability and capability every time they wish to compete for a contract. This makes the award of individual contracts quicker than it would otherwise be without the DPS.
